The Mill has become one of the top tourist attractions in Vermont because the operation is open to public viewing.

Once you've seen cider made, wander through the large retail store and check out many of the Vermont specialty foods. Bring your appetite, since you can sample plenty of jellies, mustards, applesauce, fudge, and other goodies.

In the Summer, watch real bees make honey in the "honey corner" (don't worry, they're behind glass).
